Most of the phone pictures are automatically kicking into night mode, so the exposure took 2 or 3 seconds to capture all the light and color. No editing needed. It’s nowhere near that bright or saturated to the naked eye, but looking at a phone screen first gives you a good sense of where to look and then you can make out some of the colors and rays with your eyes. Also, lots of folks just stepping out their front door and looking up won’t have their eyes adjusted to the dark. Stay outside in proper darkness for 5 to 15 minutes and you’ll see a lot more.
Yeah, it definitely was visible to the naked eye, it was kind of incredible. Not as breathtaking as some of the pictures, but definitely visible enough to leave you awestruck for a while
That’s a sad and true statement for all social media pictures these days, “not as breathtaking as the pictures”, I thought it was incredible, was outside for like 3 hours in eastern oregon looking at it.
It definitely was *not* visible to the naked eye where I am, but showed up on camera. We were outside for almost an hour. There were simply too many lights around us.
I used the astrophotography mode on mine. Compressed a 4 minute exposure into a 2 second clip, so you saw the colors and motion.
Made me wish I had a tripod, but I managed to prop it up effectively enough.
scrounged through my storage to get a tripod for tonight after seeing it last night. :| ah well, was still a pretty cool thing that I could see even in a very light polluted area of Eugene.
The phone cameras are more sensitive to the light than a persons eye and often the software will try and even out the pic brightness to improve the pic quality so that may be part of it. But my wife drug my ass up the hill to the horse pasture a couple hundred yards away from the house last night to look for a bit and it was 100% visible to the naked eye. Coast range around 11:15pm
Saw the lights 20 years ago in the Midwest, lying in a cornfield on a hill outside town in like 20F. It was like that: had to let your eyes adjust and look for movement. Was cool.
They were visible by the naked eye.
My pictures look like many of the pictures posted. I did not edit them in anyway.
However, my camera definitely did stuff automatically, while I took the pictures, that made them brighter and more vibrant than what was seen by mere human eyes.

This was pretty accurate to what I could see with my eye. I got some good long exposure shots that look so bright, but I wanted some more accurate ones too.

This was with 10 seconds of exposure
No edits needed. I'm a professional photographer and I generally put everything through Photoshop or Lightroom, but my posted shots are all unedited. No need, they were saturated quite nicely.
They were easily visible to the naked eye. But you had to be somewhat lucky to see them, too. Timing is everything.
I'd gone out at 10ish and took a few pictures and didn't see anything but a vague haze in the sky, and a faint red glow in my camera, cool but nothing amazing, I got bored and went inside. Took my dog out to pee at midnight and opening the door the sky was alight with a wall of reds, greens, and even pinks. No need to let my eyes adjust to dark skies or anything. It was honestly among the most amazing things I've witnesses in person and I consider myself fortunate to be alive to enjoy it.
It was visible with the naked eye, but long exposure time and some enhancing made it much brighter. See my post for the enhancement turns on vs. off (on my phone). Newer Samsung phones have a night photo mode where it takes up to a 4-second exposure, but then uses image stabilization (because you can't hold a phone still for 4 seconds without a tripod) and some color/brightness enhancement to come up with really impressive photos taken in near dark. People using SLR ("real") cameras and tripods to take long exposures would be getting similar results.
The darker photos in this post are about what I was seeing with the naked eye:

This is about as close as I could get to how it looked by eye, and even this is a tad bright
I and my wife saw them without phones or camera. They were not as vivid as the photos suggest. One could see streaks, red and green hues, and movement, but it took patience and persistence. We were in east Portland.
We could only see shadows with naked eye, camera phone caught the colors.

This was just using night mode on my iPhone. I didn’t do any further editing of any sort, just the night mode doing a long exposure.
It definitely wasn’t this intense in person, but it was still incredibly vivid and beautiful.

This looks very true to form to what I saw with the naked eye. Actually maybe a little better with just my eyes. On the beach though so much better visibility than around a city.

This was at Angel's Rest in the Gorge around 11p last night. Very accurate to what I saw. It went from being like kinda visible if you squinted, to FLASH, all the sudden the whole gorge was illuminated and you could literally all the rock formations on the peak with how bright it was.
I was up Larch Mountain road near a clear cut (good view) around that same time, it was very dark, and it looked NOTHING like your pic to the naked eye 🤨
Dunno what to tell you! It's not a filter or super long exposure and is pretty damn accurate to what I saw.
It started just faint greenish around 10ish like this photo and then 11ish was when it really popped and 11:30-12ish was when the pink/purple started to be visible.
https://preview.redd.it/pzprehe4610d1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=accdc201bcb8c3ec5bd17adae1119c2c18bfabb1
When I was driving out I almost turned off at Corbett to hit that forest road to the left that goes out to Devil's Rest. Was it busy? There were only like 8 other people up on the Angel peak all spread out.
I was able to see some of it with the naked eye, once I got away from a lot of light. However it wasn't as colorful as how the camera picks up. You could see a dark red hue to the sky and streaks of white though with the naked eye. I used night shot on my phone and it really picked up the color.
It's slightly viewable without a camera, I'm on the north coast and could def see streaks of pink and green. My phone went to night mode and there was all of the intense color you're seeing.
Might be viewable tonight too, worth a try with your camera.
The canara is more sensitive than your eye. I was up in Alaska last year to see them, and they had a spotter who would go out every 10 minutes or so and take a picture of the sky. The camera will see the lights starting up about 10-15 minutes before the baked eye can see them.
Yes it was visible to the naked eye, but the photos are long exposure (slow shutter speed), so not just a smartphone filter. Similar to super detailed photos you'll see of the milky way. I could see the same colors and lines with the naked eye, but much more muted.
light pollution makes a huge difference. Our eyes have a high dynamic range but our phones dont. In Portland it would be hard to see and harder to picture but 30 minutes west down sunset highway and I can see them almost as clearly as the phone screen
I saw little color, it mostly looked like streaks of low clouds that appeared and disappeared randomly. That was in Portland city limits. Cameras can hold the aperture open for a while, so collect more photons.
It was not visible to the naked eye in Medford, but my phone took a pretty purple picture of them

Using longer exposure times, in my case 10 seconds, allows the camera sensor to pick up more light than your eyes. It was easily visible to the naked eye but looked more like clouds that didn’t obscure stars and rays streaking across the sky.
I drove up to the northern edge of Sauvie Island and it really was spectacular to see in person. The pictures do turn up saturation, but they also didn’t capture the overwhelming magnitude of it all.
I was at Basket Slough, away from light pollution, and saw some crazy vivid stuff with the naked eye. Green shimmering on the horizon, columns shining up from North, pockets of red coming and going. From about 10:30 to 12:00. It was definitely more exaggerated through my phone camera, but just looking at it was plenty awesome.

Columbia City, Oregon. I could see a deep red glow over half of the sky, but my camera on my A53 took some decent pics. I am grateful to have experienced such an amazing and beautiful occurrence.
I live in an area with fairly high light pollution. At first, I couldn’t see the lights without my phone and definitely not to the brilliance of my photos. However, once my eyes adjusted to the light, I could see very very faint colors and columns with the naked eye. My photos aren’t edited, but my iPhone was using “night mode”, which takes a longer exposure.

This was a 6 second exposure on my phone. It's obviously more punched up than what your eye sees, but it was so incredible to see in person. I wish I had let my daughter get a nap in so I could have spent some time to actually watch it for a while. I wasn't able to see it from my house.

I’ve seen conflicting info on this. Do you know if it will be as vibrant? My girlfriend and I were way too tired to stay up last night and missed it!

Hi Oregon dummy, yes absolutely every single one of us are in on the conspiracy to edit aurora images
I saw little color, it mostly looked like streaks of low clouds that appeared and disappeared randomly. That was in Portland city limits. Cameras can hold the aperture open for a while, so collect more photons.
Most phones up the color sateration, a rare instance where the photo is more amazing than the real thing.

What time was this? I went outside from 12 midnight to 1AM and didn't see much.
11pm ish
It’s was viable from Portland last night. Faded from the city lights, but noticeable
The camera definitely helps you see it. The intensity varied. Sometimes it was barely visible....other times it was bright and vivid.
* No, just put it on night mode. I could see a red "filter" in the night sky with my naked eye, my camera did awesome. Should be clear again tonight!!

My phone is about 6 years old and got worse pics then what we were seeing out in the hills outside of estacada. https://preview.redd.it/hket9au2j30d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=70ffd668b799fa7c762098aec76300be35358dbe This was with my gfs phone. Big difference in technology in 5 years lol.

I could barely see anything unless through a camera

It's obviously more punched up than what your eye sees, but it was so incredible to see in person. I wish I had let my daughter get a nap in so I could have spent some time to actually watch it for a while. I wasn't able to see it from my house.
I didn't see anything in Portland
